I may have lied

What is the best way for me to determine what the manufacturers name of the true color of my SVX? I thought it was 'Claret'. Since I've never seen a Claret (Whatever it is in real life) I'm not certain what one is supposed to look like.

I'm selling the car and, if I'm wrong, I need to correct the description right-away.

If it's a 92 and "purple" it's Claret. That's the only color of "purple" that was made in '92. If it's SOLID "purple," then, it's been re-sprayed, and your guess is as good as mine. All '92 Clarets had the black roof. Also, if it's a re-spray, it may not be the original Claret. Has it ever been re-painted.

You can look on subarusvx.com to check photos and compare.

Aren't you color blind? If it is the same car that is in your locker it is black, you'll have to ask again but I beleive that is officially called ebony mica or something like that.

It's a very dark purple metal fleck. Looks black until the sun hits it. Then clearly dark purple or maroon.

Still confused

Uh oh...subarusvx.com...is the car pictured at the top of this page 'Claret'?

Have I had the name of my color wrong for these 2.5 years?

I'm starting to feel like an idiot.

You have the Ebony Pearl, which gives off a deep dark purple cast when the sun hits it. The color is actually quite striking and hard to match. It's "Black" to most people, not Claret.

OK, open the hood. on the aluminum plate at the bottom of the drivers side hood support, if at the bottom left at the paint code it says,265, it is claret (like the burgundy wine) if it says 235, its ebony pearl.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

You mean to tell me that, with all the knowledge I've accumulated over these years that I have something as simple as the freekin color wrong?!?

Wholly cr*p!

I are more smarter than this usually.

I've brought shame to the name 'Randy'


Randy ii

sheesh!

Why? What is wrong with it?
